Welcome to another Weekly Wrap Up! This week saw a mix of warm and cool temperatures to the Natural State, with the week starting off cool, then warming up, only to return to cooler weather as the weekend approached. We also saw some rain off and on. Here’s a look at the rain totals for October so far from my CoCoRaHS rain gauge in Hot Springs.
Here’s a look at the current temperatures across Arkansas (from both NWS and Earth Networks weather stations), as well as a look at current conditions from Earth Networks weather stations across Arkansas this evening (maps and images courtesy of Baron Threat Net and Earth Networks Sferic Maps). Beautiful view on the Whitney Mountain Lodge camera!
A Freeze Warning and Frost Advisory is in effect for North Arkansas. Here’s a map of the counties under the advisories.
Here’s a comparison of the forecast future temperature models for tomorrow at 8:00 AM using the Baron model, WSI 4K RPM model, NAM, and GFS models (NAM and GFS models courtesy of AllisonHouse Maps).
